Conversion of an Electromagnetic Wave into a Periodic Train of Solitons under Cyclotron Resonance Interaction with a Backward Beam of Unexcited Electron-Oscillators

摘要

The possibility of the conversion of intense continuous microwave radiation into a periodic train of short pulses by means of resonant interaction with a beam of unexcited cyclotron electron oscillators moving backward is shown. In such a system there is a certain range of parameters where the incident stationary signal splits into a train of short pulses and each of them can be interpreted as a soliton. It is proposed to use this effect for amplitude modulation of radiation of short wavelength gyrotrons.
